Draw a cloud shape onto the card stock. Cut it out.

Get your child to glue cotton wool to the cloud shape.

Meanwhile, cut some strips of coloured paper.

Let your child glue the strips to the bottom of the cloud – if you help them glue it in the right order (according to the song), it's: red, yellow, pink, green, purple, orange, blue.
